How glorious! They made America great again!
Decades of “I vote myself and my kin” or “I vote against others even if it hurts me”. Reap what you sow. Vote to #TaxWealth or #TaxWealthNotWork and maybe you’ll get somewhere.
I’ll give them this…
They wanted to make sure people didn’t have enough to eat unless they were wallowing in indignity and grinding for scraps. This is real commitment to their stupid, ass-backwards “principles”. I salute the stupid hill they’re going to starve on.
Why can’t they just pull themselves up by their bootstraps? No one wants to work anymore…
They can’t afford straps.
Step 1: Vote like dogshit for decades.
Step 2: Suffer.
Step -1: normalize voting based on vibes
Step 0: be clueless about propaganda and bias
Food insecurity in my ruby red state just hit 37%. More than 1/3 of the state is fucking hungry! The food banks struggle to keep running, let alone keep pace with demand. People just need that everyday experience to be linked with the republican administration here, but that direct line isn’t clear to people, or they’re disenfranchised enough not to care anymore. Education campaigns are so sorely needed.
Voted for Harris. I didn’t vote against my intrest. Still suffer. I’m in this camp. I’m hanging on. But just barely. But the moment is here. People are starving. It’s about to get even more crazy.
If you aren’t a filthy rich shareholder then voting for Harris wa voting again your interests too.
No capitalist party will ever fix the underlying problems that caused Trump. The DNC isn’t even interested in mitigating the damage.
It was her or Trump, OK? what do you want? a perfect world? There was no valid 3rd party at the time.
There were several on the ballot who would have been light years better.
You ShitLib spoilers insisted on wasting your votes on a genocide-loving crooked cop who had no chance of winning.
OK who should have I voted for?
And still, a bunch of you have convinced yourselves that “boomers” hoarded all the money…
While certainly a bunch of them had bad luck, statistically, a whole bunch of them made bad decisions and/or squandered what they had.
PLENTY of us know a boomer who had a small fortune and pissed it all away because they thought making money was so easy more was just going to come to them.
The ones I know just pissed it away from buying stuff. Like the silent gen were still frugal but were constantly waiting for another great depression but the boomers would remodel something a few years after they remodeled because they decided they did not like what they had chose. Like not because it needed it do to age and things kinda falling apart. Or bought a new or remodeled place but had to remodel to get exactly what they wanted.
Did they piss it away on crypto or prediction markets? Did they piss it away specifically because they were born within a range of years?
There’s a difference here - most day to day Millennial and Gen-Z workers don’t MAKE enough to have the opportunity to be scammed. The yuppie, upwardly mobile class of rich college grads has been a minority for a LONG time.
The boomers grew up in an era where a high school diploma got you the equivalent of a 60k a year salary as a STARTING pay just for having a pulse, and a huge number of them retired with a pension.
There’s a massive difference between being desperate and grabbing for an opportunity to get out of the endless treadmill to the grave, and having everything you need to be comfortable for the rest of your life and blowing it.
There’s little difference. While yes, the elderly themselves get scammed due to cognitive decline and extra targeting from scammers, all the youngins get ripped off too. You ain’t special. I gave crypto and internet gambling as examples for a reason…
A lot of them have. And regardless of whether or not they have, even more voted for the regime. So:
Because I am fresh fucking out of empathy for anyone who voted that way in the last election.
A lot of boomers voted for Harris. A lot of young people voted for Trump. A lot of people in general didn’t vote at all. I’m fresh out of fucking empathy for the entire world being simplistically stereotyped.
Yup, a lot of people here fighting the culture wars instead of the class wars.
how many of those millions voted for this?
I’m not going to care too much until I know that number
Funny thing is food insecurity means getting fat instead of thin nowadays. We somehow are able to create cheap calories with no substance.
Fuck Trump.
